The publisher/developer already got the money for the game from the first buyer.
Many wouldn't buy a game for full price without the option to resell it, others wouldn't (or can't afford to) buy it for full price, so they buy it used. Without the combined revenue of these two groups, less units would probably been sold at launch... some would cave in and buy for full price, but many would just wait for a price cut... or wouldn't buy the game at all.
Publishers/developers can get something extra if the buyer of the used game buys some DLC additionally.
